WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (December 17, 2009) - Extreme Speed Motorsports, the
new race team created and owned by veteran race car driver Scott Sharp,
revealed today its driver lineup for the American Le Mans Series' GT2 class
in 2010. The announcement follows a successful day of testing the team's
first new Ferrari F430 GTC on Wednesday at Sebring International Raceway -
the car's first run on American soil after arriving from the factory in
Italy.

"The Ferrari F430 is beautiful and definitely one of the best handling cars
I have ever driven," Sharp said. "The team is incredibly enthusiastic about
our relationship with Ferrari, and I'm very excited that we are already
hitting the track, testing."

The team will compete with two cars, one piloted by Sharp and Johannes van
Overbeek, and the other with Ed Brown and Guy Cosmo behind the wheel.
Tequila Patron, a longtime supporter of motorsports racing, has signed on
as a sponsor, along with Ferrari Corse Clienti and the team's official tire
technical partner Michelin.

Sharp, who last season helped Patron Highcroft Racing bring home the
American Le Mans Series' LMP1 championship and three victories, began
racing karts at the early age of 8. His celebrated career on the track has
included racing in Champ Car, and the Indy Racing League (including nine
IndyCar event wins and 35 top-five finishes, along with 14 Indianapolis 500
starts) before he began competing in the American Le Mans Series in 2008.

Sharp's partner Johannes van Overbeek began his racing career at age 23,
purely as a hobby. He has since become one of the world's top-ranked
Porsche drivers, competing in the American Le Mans GT2 series with Flying
Lizard Motorsports since 2005. He has amassed six wins in the Series and
has finished in the top-five 54 times in 77 starts. He was the recipient of
the 2007 Porsche Cup as the world's top independent Porsche driver.

"I'm very excited about joining ESM and Patron in the ALMS. Scott has been
working tirelessly to ensure that we have all the tools in place to be
successful," commented van Overbeek. "Having been a part of a successful
start-up team in the past, I know it won't be easy but I look forward to
contributing to ESM's long-term success and working hard to ensure that
Patron's investment in the team and the Series is maximized."

Ed Brown will drive the team's other full-time Ferrari F430 GTC, with
partner Guy Cosmo. Brown is formerly a Patron GT3 Challenge by Yokohama
driver who made his debut in the American Le Mans Series in 2009 in the
Challenge class with ORBIT Racing. Brown's best finish in the GT Challenge
class last season was in the runner-up spot at Lime Rock Park.

"There's no one in racing today more passionate and committed to this sport
than Scott Sharp, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be racing
with than the talented and professional team we've assembled here," said
Brown.

Guy Cosmo, 2005 American Le Mans Series Rookie of the Year and also a
former ORBIT Racing driver, competed last season in the No. 47 Porsche 911
GT3. He finished the season 3rd in the Challenge class championship
qualifying on the pole three times. Cosmo has 19 starts in the American Le
Mans Series, finishing in the top-five 17 times and has been on the
winner's podium twice. In addition to being an accomplished driver, Cosmo
is also a highly sought-after driving instructor.

"Joining Scott Sharp's Extreme Speed Motorsports for the 2010 American Le
Mans Series GT2 championship is a great opportunity," added Cosmo. "This
program is exactly what I've wanted to be part of for several years now.
It's the ultimate trifecta; Patron-sponsored, Ferrari-driven, and in the
American Le Mans Series. What more could a driver ask for? I'm really
looking forward to contributing to the team and making this program a
success."

Michelin is the recognized leader in developing technologies that help
provide the right tires for competitive motorsports.

"Extreme Speed Motorsports is thrilled to add Michelin as a technical
partner to our team," Sharp added. "After driving on Michelins for the last
two seasons, I know how important it is to run on the best tires out there,
and having them on our cars will immediately bring confidence to everyone
on the team."

"This is such an incredible time!" Sharp continued. "We have been able to
formulate an incredibly strong team in short order, but not only do we have
the best drivers in racing, we also have unbelievable support from the
league, and from our partner sponsors. What a combination - Patron, Ferrari
and Michelin - the premium brands in each of their markets."
